Green is Good

A healthy trend that has been blossoming, is eco-friendly design.

We bring some attention to it here in our Eco-Friendly zone, though we are not as focused as a TreeHugger > who is listed as one of our favorite modern design blogs.

There are now tradeshows that are dedicated to Modern eco-friendly design, sites that sell strictly eco-friendly items and publications that dedicate themselves to covering the topic.

I wanted to bring attention to the Forest Stewardship Council

The FSC is an international organization based in Bonn, Germany (www.fsc.org), who has offices in Washington D.C..

The FSC was created after the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio. With the population explosion and subsequent demand for land, goods and $$$, there was an increasing need for a governing body and think-tank to subsidize the failures of governments to come to agreement on solutions concerning sustainable forestry.

It is quite a challenge and a noble task. Visit this link http://www.fscus.org/certifiers/ to see the accredited certifiers in the US and beyond.
